This is a blog devoted to researching the cognitive effects of Virtual and Augmented Reality.
Our Research Question is - "How can synthetic embodied VR/AR environments enhance aspects of human cognition?"
The blog shows outcomes of our research projects, such as papers, videos, paper reviews and other useful artifacts.

The HCIS workshop is focused on human orientation and human factors in the context of Information Systems (IS) research. The workshop aims to support investigations and novel solutions for human integration into IS, and interaction of humans with IS in general. In continuing the successful series of the HC-PAIS workshop series, the HCIS 2013 workshop will also provide a platform for discussing research on human orientation in different types of IS, such as Process-Aware Information Systems (PAIS), Business Process Management Suites (BPMS) and Workflow Systems (WfS). The workshop aims to offer a portal for researchers, discussions, and contributions of interdisciplinary research dedicated to the investigation of particularly human-centric activities and processes that demand human judgment, human skills and competencies, human experiences, and discernment. The HCIS workshop appreciates diversity in the chosen research methodology (reaching from e.g. empirical research to action research, and design science research), and welcomes technical, empirical, experiential, and exploratory contributions.
